Loaded Baked Sweet Potato
Ingredients
4 medium sweet potatoes
½ cup fat-free Greek yogurt
1 tsp taco seasoning
1 tsp olive or canola oil
1 red bell pepper, diced
½ red onion, diced
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp cumin
1 ⅓ cups low-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
⅓ cup reduced-fat Mexican shredded cheese
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
Directions
Poke holes in the potato with a fork, cook on your microwave’s potato setting until potatoes are soft and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes on high for 4 potatoes). If you don't have a microwave, bake about 45 minutes at 400°F.
Combine yogurt and taco seasoning in a small bowl, mix well.
Heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat.
Add peppers, onions, chili powder, paprika, and cumin; cook until the onions have caramelized slightly, about 5 minutes.
Add black beans, stir to combine and heat through (about another 5 minutes).
Slice the potato lengthwise down the middle or use a fork to pierce the top in an oval shape, then remove the top of each potato.
Top with 2 Tbsp shredded cheese, 1/3 cup of black bean mixture, 2 Tbsp Greek yogurt mixture, 1 Tbsp cilantro, and 2 Tbsp salsa.
